Research

Current research topics

• Influence of biological regulations of the causes and conditions that influence gaseous emissions, heat production and changes in phase or speciation: nature of the causal variables, relative influence of the variables as a function of the process, environment and scale.
• Optimization of animal production for food or non-food uses: minimization of solid, liquid and gaseous pollution by maximizing the recycling of by-products; minimization of energy, water and nutrient inputs at the farm scale (modelling).
• Development of measurement methods to quantify gaseous and PM emissions from livestock buildings and manure-management facilities.

Current projects

• GHG Manage: Managing and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration in various landscape mosaics. (ERAGAS)
• MELS: Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from livestock systems (ERAGAS)
• PAPOVIT: Quantitative estimation of particle emission factors from swine and poultry houses (CASDAR)
• TEMPORALIS: Temperature reduction in pig houses to decrease ammonia emissions (ADEME CORTEA)
• DATAMAN: Establishment of a database on greenhouse gas emissions from manure for refinement of national inventories (GRA)
